A Useful Precaution.

1t is useful precaution for the tourist,
the commercial traveller, or the emigrant to
the West, to take along Hostetter's Stomach
Bittsrs. Invalids who travel by steamboat
or rail should provide themselves with it, in
order to prevent or remedy the nausea
which the Earring and vibration of vehicles
al traalSitu often causes them. Vastly pre-
ferrable is it for this simple, but needful
purpose, to the heady unmedicated stimu-
lants of commerce. On board ship, it not
only remedies sea sickness. but neutralizes
the pernicious effects of water slightly
brackish, which. if unqualified, is apt to
give rise to Irregularities of the bowels,
cramps in the abdominal region, and dys-
pepsia. To the aerial poison of malaria it
is an efficient antidote. Sick headache,
heartburn, and wind upon the stomach,
are promptly banished by Il. 1t health
fully stimulates the kidneys and bladder,
and nullihes the early symptoms of rheu-
matism.

stimulated INSCRIPTIONS parties to put
forth limitations, which they endeavor to

an absurdity to speak Of them in the same

a CHINAMAN was hanged IN San Fran
cisco last week for an atrocious murder.
One of the city papers devoted nearly
a page to an exceedingly detailed
description of tie scenes of the scafold
and those Immediately preceding the exc
ton. The effect of such sensational pub
fishing is wholly bad. 1t does not augment
the terror Of execution, nor serve to deter
universal belief of detectives, and skilled
officers of police, that such infamed ac-
counts tend to stimulate crime. If the
press would conserve public order and
add to the security of life against the as
saults of the assassins, it should treat the
death of murderers on the scafiold with the
least possible of tragic recital and dramatic
detail. To make the moose wholly odious
the criminal should not be posed as hero,
or made the central figure of garish and
unhealthy novelettes in newspapers That
system is better which, from the hour of
final condemnation sequesters the victim
from the worlds gaze, and even
refuses to know him in prison, save
by number. and executes him with such
privacy that beyond the legal record of
the carrying out of the laws decree there
Is but little or no opportunity for sensa-
tional journals to enlarge upon the event.
Such method defeats no end of Justice, bat
adds terror TO the scaffold, makes the
halter doubly feared, and wholly elimi-
mates the dramatic posing of the victim
before the admiriug criminals of the world.
Aside from these considerations however,
regard for the effect of extended and highly
coiored tragic accounts of 'hangingsr
upon plastic minds ought to restrain Jour
nalism. Such publications as are referred
to at the outset, familiarize the young with
crime and the gallows, and to a great ex-
tent rob the one of its Nervousness. and
the other of Its terrors. The legislator
IN New York, who a few years ago pro-
posed by law to exclude reporters from ex-
ecution scenes, and to forbidany other pub
LEGATION relating TO executions than the
mere fact that the murderer was hanged
at given place, in the presence of wit
nesses, on certain date and in due form,
and by the officer by law appointed, was
nearer right in his views of such matters
than any who have preceded or followed

MONDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1887
MONDAY.
JURY FIXERs.

Ex-senator Creighton has been con-
yictea in San Francisco of an attempt to
bride jurymen. The convictien, we con-
fess is surprise, for the testimony was SO
contradictory that we had reached the
conclusion that acquittal er disagreement
would be the result. jury bribers are be-
ing prosecuted with gratifying vigcr in
San Francisco. and there is now cater
tanned the hoyre that taey Will be broken up
root and branch. One briber has already
been sent 20 the State Prison; the Grand
jury is after three others, and nov D. J.
Creighton has been convicted. But we
fear that the verdict Will not bold good.
The two jurors prosecuting, testified that
Creighton offered them money in the
Wright case to return u verdict FIR the
street railway company and against the
widow Wright. But as positively Creigh-
ton testified that he did notsnd then forti-
fed his'denial by affirmative proofs that
Quirk had sought to find someone to buy
his vote on the jury, had. indeed, peddled
it around, and another witness testified
that she other juror involved had told him
thattQuirk had frightened him into join
ingRith him in the prosecution. There was
other testimony assaulting Quirk's motive
and reliability, and tending to substantiate
the theory Of the defense that Quirk es
fered to sell his vote, but feared disclosure
and turned to prosecute the defendant to
save himself. Bat the jury had the wit
nesses before it and it believes Quirk and
disbelieves the defendant and his witnesses,
and it is the better Judge. Where there is
such conflict of testimony and such assault
upon prosecuting witnesses a disagreement
Or acquittal is generally looked for, and
hence the surprise in this case. Probably
the fact that Creighton stood mute in the
Court when the Wright case was tried and
paid $500 of fine imposed upon him then
for contempt, the juror Quirk having then
charged him with attempted bribery, had
great weight with the jury against the de-
PENDANT. If San Francisco keeps ON in
well-doing, hanging her murderers and
Juggling her jury brokers, she will presently
be entitled to prefer the claim of fairly
clean city. Whether the verdict in the
Creighton case holds good or not, the trial
goes along way towards purifying the Court
atmosphere in that city, for it will teach
jury-bribers that the public does not longer
propose to tolerate their assaults upon that
important bulwark of our liberties, the
jury box. The jury-fxers viii realize that
the business is becoming altogether
hazardous, and that men approached are
them SO meanly.
